Agenda tho??

Don't quote me, but I think there was an actual agenda against adult males in Disney movies...

I was watching a Disney/Pixar doc (can't remember) and Walt wanted the characters' childhood to be similar to his own... fatherless...

Spoiler

Now I could be talking out my arse...*goes to google*

Edit: So my theory is off base... Walt had his father in his life until he was 39.... but I do want to revisit that documentary the briefly speaks about Disney's "eccentric" tendencies

good read

Why does Disney hate parents? Ever noticed your favourite films always kill off Mum and Dad ... | Mail Online

Disney did not make up some of these stories....Walt Disney stole ideas from other places....he didn't even make up Mickey mouse

Didn't know that... Not surprised. But as far as the subject goes since I didn't mention it in my first post is that I think the whole point is for Disney to show realistic situations in their own way. It's kind of funny because I never noticed this until this thread.

Disney movies are disgusting, I watched Mulan, Little Mermaid and Pocahontas and realized all these girls are adolescents doing some dumb shyt for a grown man. Their movies are all fukked up.

Nothing about these stories are "fairytales" that I'd want my kids to watch.

Exactly. Kids just watch the movie, they don't pay attention to every little thing going on in the movie and try to make a big deal out of nothing. Like adults do.
